2021 Guide to Gifting Rose Bouquets in Australia

 For centuries, giving a bouquet of flowers has been a standard social practice for all occasions as it allows us to express our deepest emotions. The only downside of gifting a beautiful bunch of fresh flowers is that they wilt away after a few days or a week at best. This issue is no longer a problem with preserved roses. Through a very meticulous process, roses can now be preserved to last at least 1 year. Yes, you read that correctly, they will keep their beautiful shape and colour with minimal maintenance for a MINIMUM of 12 months.

So, what type of bouquet should you select? With the variety of colours now available it has become increasingly easier to select an arrangement appropriate for any type of occasion. Gifting a bouquet of roses is a form of expression. They have the power to convey an array of emotions including gratitude, love, sincerity and sympathy.  Here is a general guide to help you choose the appropriate bouquet.

How to select a bouquet based on the occasion

Birthdays

When trying to select the right bouquet of roses for birthdays there are a few factors to think about; their personality, favourite colour and whether the birthday celebration has a theme. With the wide variety of rose colours made possible through the practice of preserving roses, you are no longer limited to the 2-3 seasonal options and can select from a wide range of colours available all year round!

Engagements & Weddings

These occasions are generally on the more formal side. For that reason, gifting metallic gold or silver preserved rose arrangements are always a safe and classy option. These arrangements are statement pieces that shimmer under lights and will be sure to attract a few stares from the guests.

Mother’s Day

What a beautiful day. There’s no better way to thank these super-humans than to gift long-lasting roses on a day that celebrates their love, sacrifice and care. Gifting them with their favourite colour or with beautiful, bright coloured roses is the perfect way to thank a mother, grandmother or any motherly figure for all that they do for us.

Gender Reveal

These occasions are generally themed with a blush pink or a tiffany blue colour palette. Therefore, it makes sense to gift a bouquet with a mix of these two colours of roses. You can get some arrangements custom made. For that extra personal touch you can even add customisation to your bouquet with a pink or blue foiled message on the bouquet box.

Funerals, Sympathy

A symbol of innocence, spirituality and peace, white roses are generally the standard option. However, with the innovation of preserving rose bouquets you now have the option of gifting real, preserved black roses. Black roses symbolise bereavement, loss and mortality and are the most appropriate option for funerals.

Proposals, Valentine’s Day, Anniversary

It goes without saying that red roses symbolise love and romance. Nothing spells out “I Love You” quite like bunch of classic red roses beautifully presented in a bouquet box. Gifting a bouquet of preserved roses mean that they can now enjoy this classic symbol of love all year round. Mixing red roses with pink or fuchsia colours are also a popular choice for romantic relationships that are in their early stages when perhaps you don’t want to come on too boldly.

Religious/Cultural

Rose colours have various meanings across different cultures and religions so it is important to check the symbolism of the colours based on the customs or religious beliefs in question. Generally speaking, all roses represent god’s love and wisdom. White roses represent spirituality and holiness, red roses represent passion and pink shades can symbolise peace and joy.

Get Well

Bright colours are the general rule of thumb here. The aim is to brighten their day and make them smile. Yellow roses represent friendship and joy and would be suitable either on their own in a bouquet or mixed with other brightly-coloured roses.
